driving holiday/snow/cloth

[johT]

Ok am i crazy considering using cloth on our up-coming holiday?
i really h@te the thought of disposables now!
I want to use cloth, but i think it's gonna take alot of planning
so far, the only holidays we've done using cloth has been an hour away at our shack, which has a washing machine
we are driving from SA to vic, to go to melbourne and the snow.
staying in motels on the way/way back, etc.
hmmmm. maybe pockets? we will be doing abit of driving....maybe i should get some bummi's covers and just pad fold flanelette flats??
what would you do?!help!!!

I'm taking cloth when I go to India later this year, but it is a bit different because there is no washing machines and everything needs to be hand washed anyway

I figured:

• a few soakers and longies lanolised before I go would cover the most of it and then they don't need to be washed (unless they get poo on them)
• a bummis cover or two
• a few snappies
• some napisan or somehting like that because washing powder is pretty crap there and I will want something to soak them in during the day
• wet bag

hmmm i guess i could probably handwash at motels if they didn't have washing machines...

forgot

• an AIO or two
• 20 or less terries
• training pants?? (if DS is tt then)
• maybe a few disposables for the plane

even though it seems like a bit, it will be much easier and less to carry then disposables

different context, but HTH

Big wetbag!!! motels should have access to washer/dryer.

i'd go the pockets, I actually used cloth travelling from Vic to Adelaide for 10 days but i used fitteds and aios cos we didn't have any pockets.

when we camp i've used eenee pouch pockets with trifolds and half terries~ quick drying but pockets are probably better.

You can borrow my pockets/stuffers if you need more I have, umm, 8 left I think. Mostly SBs and GKs.

I haven't travelled with cloth myself. Only holiday we've taken was when Kaia was two to NZ and I used disposables

oh thanks lucretia - that would be AWESOME!!!
maybe i can put them on layby?
(I keep thinking about that black vb aio too)

Hey Joh, drop by here to do some washing if you like we're on the way to Mount Donabuang or whatever it's called and there's snow up there

[johT]

which means i'll have little say in when and where we stopgrrr
